So like, what are they going to do with Eri now? Their plan right now seems to be "keep her locked in a room so we won't die" and that doesn't seem like a long term solution.

Eraserhead adopts her. Wacky dad and adopted daughter hijinks where Eraserhead has to rush to elementary school during class to keep his new daughter from accidentally unmaking her peers.

Honestly, it seems like the best outcome for Eri would be to use one of those quirk erasing bullets on her. Not like, actually shooting her, just injecting her with the chemical, assuming it would actually work on her. Seems like the best chance of giving her a relatively normal life.

She'd just go double nega because the chemical is based off her quirk, giving her even stronger powers. I assume.

Terper posted:It's been a couple hours at most, jesus, give them some time. More to the point, the main reason it was even being brought up was, obviously "Do we try to use Eri to save Sir?" And the answer was "No, not only do we not have any idea how her Quirk works, except for me, we have no way of stopping it. And even if we did, we've no idea how it'd react." In short, her power SOUNDS like a miracle... but the truth is that there's way too many things that just complicate even considering using her power. Sure, Sir's dying anyway, it's not like there's anything left to LOSE giving it a try. But that happens if, she not only erases Sir, but her power grows and she erases everyone in the room? Or the hospital? What if it causes a bad reaction in Mirio due to his quirk being nullified? The only character who likely knew exactly how her quirk worked, with plenty of research, was Overhaul. And even on the BEST of days he wouldn't have told them poo poo, even if they did have all the time in the world. Then there's the moral question "Where does the line end if we do it and this does succeed?" Can you revert All Might to before he gave up One for All? Could you revert his body to before his injury? Or does Emi miss the mark and accidentally turn All Might into a high-school student again who's forced to take classes with everyone else? What if the VA decide to use her to restore All For One? The only way to stop her quirk is with someone like Eraser Head. Okay... what if her power grows in range and wipes him out before he can null her? In short, they've probably thought about a lot of things once Deku told them, "Her quirk can revert people, even to theoretical non-existent versions of themselves, like if you had been born without a quirk" and concluded "For the one situation that matters right now, we still can't risk it." And even if they could risk it, they'd be asking her to take the life of a dying man into her hands, and if she failed, or erased him by accident? Would you want that hanging on a kids head?

Side question Is this a shadow or a new arm injury? I don't remember seeing that dark patch before. Oh wait it's from the chunk of his arm he blew out fighting Muscular. drat I did not notice the mark before, no loving wonder Dekumom was like "The gently caress he's going back to UA."

I'm glad everyone's worries over lasting consequences were proven wrong. It is interesting that, ultimately, the arc with the most bullshit "make bad things unhappen" power was the one in which characters from both sides of the conflict have died onscreen. I'm not sure that makes this arc any good in hindsight, but maybe we'll look back and think it was brilliant foreshadowing or something a few months from now. Looking forward to the anime adaptation showing the girls actually fighting.

I'm not sure that makes this arc any good in hindsight, but maybe we'll look back and think it was brilliant foreshadowing or something a few months from now. Maybe it's cause I read it all at once, and thus didn't have the breaks you guys had to deal with, but I liked this arc. I mean it is longer than a typical arc but that's also because they tried to do it a bit more battle shonen rather than glossing over the other guys stuff. On the whole I think it did a good thing of showing Deku actually getting hero experience where he wasn't, for ONCE told "Deku don't do anything, say anything, or touch anything." Also the scene where he had Emi in his arms when confronted by Overhaul at the start was tense as hell, and it can NOT have been easy for him to not just kick him before he got a word in edgewise. I liked the Big 3, I think Foodman and Pipboy were interesting characters to watch in action... Like it is a little long, but I liked it. Does Deku have a personal reason to want to bust Overhaul's rear end? Not really... but he also doesn't need to. A lot of times a super hero isn't just going to be busting personal villains, they'll be fighting all manner of bad guys. Yeah his only reason to want to beat the poo poo out of Overhaul is that he's been killing and regenerating a little girl to turn her into bullets, has left her traumatized and scarred and heavily abused. And ya know what? That's a pretty good loving reason.

I also think it is neat that the one thing capable of overcoming a predestined fate isn't one person trying very hard but many of them. It builds up on what OfA represents as a power.Onmi posted:Maybe it's cause I read it all at once, and thus didn't have the breaks you guys had to deal with, but I liked this arc.

And ya know what? That's a pretty good loving reason. I'd say that, on a per-scene or per-character basis the arc is perfectly fine, it is just that other arcs are so much better. The big three are fine, but they're not Deku's friends. Overhauls falls short of Stain, AfO and the new and much more competent Shigaraki. Eri was better than the kid from the school trip... Until the point where her ridiculous power was revealed and immediately became Chekhov's Deus Ex Machina. The more I think about it, the more I wonder what Horikoshi was going for with this arc. A lot of it feels like he wanted a bittersweet arc with tragic consequences but he was afraid of killing or depowering people from the main cast, so he introduced new characters just to do it to them instead (and Magnes. RIP). The arc also started and ended with the League of Villains, showing how they're growing into a more cohesive unit. We had Twice's backstory at the very beginning of the arc, even! But then the league stay offscreen for basically the whole arc. This kind of thing didn't happen in previous arcs, which were much better structured and made up something greater than the sum of their individual parts. I want SJ to give Horikoshi a month off so he can come back to this series refreshed, in top condition and with a more planned-out storyline.

I think the problem with Overhaul is that he's only really interesting in the context of the VA and their interactions with him. He was fun in his introduction because of the tension between his Yakuza and Shigaraki's VA, and then at the end it was interesting seeing Shigaraki kick him while he was down out of sheer contempt for his motivations and his goals. Problem is, most of the arc wasn't about that. I think this arc would have been more interesting had Shigaraki and the VA had a more visible role in it without them being active antagonists to the heroes.
